Rumor from HokieMark...on CSNBBS
Makes sense but maybe they need a few OL too.
We could be seeing something similar to ourselves in Tallahassee this year
Yes. I wouldn’t care. We know it takes 2 or 3 years to implement this properly. Taggart will be long gone by then if he tries to put this on place. Go for it Willie!Not plug and play.
Bound to happen as the coaching tree grows. Is the success simply in the system or more dependent upon the coach coaching the system?
Briles also strongly considerly an offer from Tennessee, but if he went there, he would not have been able to bring Clements with him. That made the decision to head to Tallahassee a lot easier. Clements coached the Baylor OL through their glory years. He should know how to coach OL in this system better than anyone.
What's with the hand wringing?
No hand wringing here. I think the concern is the Baylor offense (Dino's offense) with FSU talent versus what Taggert was trying to run.
2 thoughts:
1. They gave up on Taggert’s gulf coast offense awfully quick. Interesting to see if they have the patience to stick with Briles through growing pains.
2. The longer I see what Babers has tried to do here the more I see that value in the philosophy AND offensive system working together. HC can implement it all - S&C, DC, going for it on 4th D, etc. Depends on who has Taggert’s ear - boosters or Briles. Might be a toe in, rather than all in.
Some are hand wringing though. There have always been multiple teams running similar schemes in college football. Different coaches have different success. I have faith in Dino and it helps that we have a head start.No hand wringing here. I think the concern is the Baylor offense (Dino's offense) with FSU talent versus what Taggert was trying to run.
